CDR based billing

This is billed according to 95th percentile rules, and has the benefit of burst to 100Mbps to cope with peaks in your bandwidth needs.

You choose your CDR and you will be billed at your normal fixed rate and the amount you pay for your burst traffic.

Fixed rate billing

You choose your line speed and are billed at this rate. Your are unable to burst byond that speed without contacting us and opting for a higher bandwidth rate.

This option allows you to control your costs without incurring excess bandwidth charges.

Our preference is to bill by CDR as this ensures that your bandwidth remains flexible and that your services is not hampered should you need to meet sudden demand at short notice.

IP Addressing

Charges are not made for IP addresses to transit customers however we do require that IP address usageis justified according to RIPE regulations.
